Accredited facility and approved surgery equipment

The surgeon should also have professionally approved and well-maintained medical equipment for surgery. For your safety, determine if the doctor uses the recommended surgical equipment. 

Experience and results from past operations

For service quality assessment, request the surgeon to show you the before and after-surgery photos of past breast augmentation clients. Ask the doctor as many questions as possible to determine the level of experience he has in the field.

A comprehensive consultation process

A credible cosmetic surgeon is ready and available to give a thorough consultation and comprehensive assessment that factors the client’s breast augmentation expectations, unique physical features, medical history, and lifestyle. 

The surgeon should be patient in explaining the entire procedure to the client from the onset to the after-surgery phase. A thorough consultation process including the breast lift price will help you to make a well-informed decision. 

Good Interpersonal skills

A reliable surgeon should have good people skills to promote collaborative teamwork with a client. Technical competence alone is not adequate. A doctor with good people skills is attentive to and patient with clients. An honest, open, and approachable surgeon wins trust and alleviates any fears a patient expresses in the consultation process. 

It is an added advantage if you and the surgeon develop a rapport. As a client, pay attention to your gut; only pick a breast augmentation surgeon you are comfortable with. If you feel uneasy with a doctor, end the contract, regardless of all the other qualifications.

Difference Between a Cosmetic and a Plastic Surgeon

It can be difficult to pick a breast augmentation surgeon if you do not know how to identify one. A cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon may be an intertwined profession, a situation that would confuse a prospective client.  

Plastic surgeon

Plastic surgery has two categories; reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic plastic surgery. Reconstructive plastic surgery treats parts of the body that are deformed, scarred, or traumatized. 

A procedure such as cleft lip reconstructive plastic surgery restores the lips’ functions and appearance. Most medical insurance companies approve and cover the costs of a medically recommended plastic surgery operation. 

Cosmetic surgeon

A cosmetic surgeon performs cosmetic plastic surgery, procedures that enhance or reshape body parts to improve their aesthetic nature. Liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, breast lift, facelift, and abdominoplasty are some examples of cosmetic surgeries. 

Cosmetic plastic surgery is considered a luxury; medical insurance companies do not cover the cost of the operation. You pay for the surgery. For a breast augmentation surgeon, pick a cosmetic doctor.
